>You're trying to see through the bag on your head.
>You start pleading to yourself, please don't let these idiots be CB4. Not only do they seem to be Really, really amateur, but with the way they're doing this you're pretty sure they don't even know what a computer is.
"I swear, you fucking idiots better be trying to rob me, because if you're CB4 then..."
>You're cut off by the mare, Yes, we're CB4 and you're lucky we're feeling uhh wait, did you say who you were?"
>The grip on your legs has gotten lighter ever since they started bickering.
"Oh I'm here to talk to you all about the magic of friendship - who do you think? Didn't you put out a job? And why do I get the feeling you won't be able to afford my services?"
>A part of you wants to pull your gun on them and force them to let you out here and now but, you've got more restraint than you give yourself credit for, and wait... No they didn't find your gun you can still pull it on them if things get out of hoof.
>"Look we don't trust you... yet at least. our last mission went well... bad and I'm being extra cautious now. Umm. S-so you're not with the government right?" The mare answers.
"No"
>You feel the grip come off your legs and you immediately cross them in disappointment.
>"Uhh" a stallion begins, "Look, we're revolutionaries so we're kinda used to meeting with like minded individuals. Uhh... Maybe we should start on a new hoof."
>You feel the vehicle they tossed you in the back of go over a speed bump.

>>29514758
Maybe you should start with getting this bag off my head before I decide to double my prices.

>>29514800
That' sounds like we're taking the job. These guys don't seem like the type we should work for. Can they even pay us in the first place?

>>29514758
Steady ourselves least our gun falls out or something. Demand that they untie us and get the bag off our head before we tear it off. Any more stunts like this and we're done.

>>29514816
It sounds like telling them we'll cost double if we even accept. Time to apply a little pressuring so they realize they should get to the damn point before we decide they aren't worth it.

>>29514758
What about my car.

>>29514758
>Uhh... Maybe we should start on a new hoof."

You attacked me, tied me up with a bag over our head, and threw me into a van speeding who knows where. There better be a damn good reason for me to be in a forgiving mood.

>>29514800
>>29514758
Ooh. Ooh. Some anon sounds pretty ballsy. They could just, you know. Kill File right now?
And they haven't gave the price yet. If you double it now, they could say the original price was 50 bits.

>>29514827
The gun is in a holster anon. Hosters, are where you put the gun so it doesn't fall out DO YOU UN-DER-STAND?

>>29514758
>Look, we're revolutionaries so we're kinda used to meeting with like minded individuals. Uhh... Maybe we should start on a new hoof."


"Your revolution is not going to get many friends if you do this to everyone."

>>29514758

take a deep breath and tell them that a good way to start is to take the bag off our head and tell us where we are going.

>>29514882
No dumbass, they won't. Try reading the last post next time. They want to get friendly with us now, an it's time to tell them exactly what we think of that. The bag comes off, or there's no deal happening.

>>29514758
>OK. Yeah sure so long as I get paid we'll be the best of friends.
Take the damn bag off your head file. Jeez.

>>29514758
Not so offend you guys, but the way you sound and talk tells me you're having a, 'limited' amount of success?

>>29514758
apologize and get the bag off my head.

So what do you guys think of CB4?

>>29514758
Ask where are they taking us? if they can get the bag off of us? Which of you am I suppose to meet with? and why do they need us?

>>29514758
Is that a gun propped up along the van wall?

"You want to start off on a new hoof? Why don't you start by taking the fucking bag off my head and untying me."
>"The bag... Uhh. Lock, could you uhh." the mare fumbles over her words.
>"Yeah, right away." The stallion answers before removing the bag from your head. >Around you, you can see a few guns laying around the van. A Pegasus mare sits in front of you, a unicorn stallion sites next to you and what you think is a Pegasus stallion is driving the van.
"Where the fuck are you taking me?"
>"Taking you?" the mare answers.
"Yeah, where are we going, and what did you do with my car!?"
>"You're car? We didn't do anything with your car. and we're... Hey pin!? Where are we going?"
>"I'm just driving in circles."
>"He's just Driving in circles."
>You groan and try to keep your cool.
"Why don't you just get to the point before I walk. What even is this job."
>The mare smiles and begins to answer, "Oh, well we need someone to help get us into a Patwri...."
>The mare is cut off by the unicorn, "Don't tell him everything now Conny!"
>"Umm yes. We need help to steal some uhh weapons."
"Not so offend you guys, but the way you sound and talk tells me you're having a, 'limited' amount of success with your revolution here."
>"Well, like I said, our last outing kinda ended bad I mean, I got shot. that was... Well it was a good sacrifice for the cause." The mare looks away from you nervously.
"Look, before you tell me anything else I don't want to hear about this job, How much does it pay?"
>"Uhhh..."The mare answers, "How much do these kind of services usually cost?"

>>29515128
Oh god that's cute. Scrunchy File.

>>29515128
A Patwrite facility? Yeah everyone should know about Patwrite. Why them though? There's plenty of messed up corperations to deal with.

>>29515128
>"Uhhh..."The mare answers, "How much do these kind of services usually cost?"

IF you are unsure how much to offer us then how about you tell me what it is you want done and I'll tell you how much that will cost.

>>29515128
these jobs typically start in the four figure area.

>>29515128
>"Uhhh..."The mare answers, "How much do these kind of services usually cost?"
Twilight's teats we're fucked.

>>29515128
How many of you are in this revolutionary group? What is your goal?

>>29515128
>>29515019
I think they should seriously consider pursuing a different career path before they get themselves killed.

>>29515128
I need to think. Please tell your friend to stop and park and turn off the car. He's gonna draw someone's attention.

>>29515128

It'd be easier to give you a figure if I knew more about the job. Though judging by what I see so far I'm not sure you can afford me.

>>29515128
Is your friend with the eye the only one with cyberware?

>>29515128
Tell them to park the van some place. Then tell them similar prices that we had given to the other clients we met with.

>>29515128
I hope the amount of bits they're offering for the job isn't linear to the number of "$" they used in the job description.

>>29515128
>Around you, you can see a few guns laying around the van

Are these weapons of yours from other weapon heists?

Not to be meta guys, but this could be our chance. We could get a Spear File ship.

>>29515128
I honestly feel bad for them. They don't "seem" very capable. I kind of want to help they regardless of payment. This is just too sad to watch.

I fear these ponies will get themselves killed.
>>29515128
Do they have a certain window of time available before they retract the job offer?

>>29515128
Have them tell us what the job is then we'll tell him what our price is. Why do you need a hacker just to steal some weapons?

>>29515128
How long have you all been revolutionaries? What is your cause?

"Wait... Patwrite? You mean the appliance company?"
>"They Don't just make Appliances," the mare snaps back.
"Fine, look These jobs usually start off in the four figure range it really depends on what you need."
>"Oh.." The mare looks down at the floor.
"Something wrong with that?"
>"I don't know what a figure is..."
You mumble under your breath, "Twilight's teats you're fucked."
>"What's that?"
"How about this, what do you need me to do exactly in this job? Also Tell your driver to stop somewhere, he's going to attract more attention."
>The driver seems to take the hint on his own.
>"Oh uhh there's a bunch of sentry robots that are in this factory where they... Well. Make sentry robots... We wanted to take them... For the cause."The mare answers."
"What exactly is the cause?"
>The unicorn puffs out his chest,"We're fighting the control corporations have over the working pony!" the stallion proudly boasts. We're gonna take back the power and make a new fairer government!"
"Right, and just how many are in your movement?"
>"More than two hundred strong in Ferric Port alone!" The mare answers proudly. She thn lowers her head and looks away, "there used to be more before but things kinda didn't go so well last time we tried to really bring the fight to the corporations." She folds what used to be her left wing out, "I don't want to talk about it."
"So you, Washer was it? Are you the only one with Enhancements in this group?"
>"I'm the only one here that's been enhanced, but there's other revolutionaries with enhancements."
"How long have you been revolutionaries?"
>The unicorn answers first, "Four years."
>"Just two" the mare answers, "Since I was 17."
>The driver doesn't answer.

>>29515495
And your driver?

>>29515495
Hey she's kinda cute.

>>29515495
So you need me to take out the sentry bots in this place? What type of bots are they? is there other security at this place other than sentry bots? How are the bot's directed? Remotely? through an ai? Where is this factory at?

>>29515495
Do you even have the ability to reprogram the sentry bots?

>>29515495
Washer, what do your enhancements do?

>>29515495
Again. There a date for when you want to do this? Something tells me your current numbers wont cut it.

Meta knowledge: We should still deal with the addiction problem.

>>29515556
That's why they're looking for someone.

>>29515495
Where is this factory located? Is it staffed or fully automated? How do you plan on transporting the bot's out?

>>29515571
Sounded like they just wanted our help to get in. Operating and maintaining them would require somebody in their group.

>>29515495
When do you plan on robbing this joint? Do you have a rough timeframe as to when?

"What about chuckles over there driving the van?"
>"I'm not going to tell you anything about me." The driver answers, "And you two shouldn't be this loose with information about our group."
>"Calm down, he's not a cop or a government spook." The mare answers.
>"Whatever, just, stop using our names."
>The mare sticks her tongue out and then focuses back on you.
"So what kind of time frame are you looking at to break into this place."
>"Time-frame? uhh, no idea... We are just kinda playing it safe now because of what happened. So... As soon as we get somepony to shut down security I guess."
"Do they have armed guards or is it jst sentry bots? Oh, and is there an A.I. supervising the facility?"
>"Uhh, well There are armed guards... and I'm pretty sure they have an A.I. or two. They develop them there. but, we just need you to take down the automated security for us! We'll take care of the rest!" The mare seems to perk up a bit after saying this.
"How do you plan on getting the robots out?"
>"We have a lot more vans in our group."
"Okay, and can you even reprogram robots like these?"
>"I'm sure someone can! That's why they have us stealing them, for the cause!"
"Sorry it's just bothering me. What exactly does your eye do?"
>The stallion snaps to attention, "Oh me!? Umm it shows me where my gun is aimed and also some civilian augment reality things like, the weather forecast and GPS."
"Right, anyway. Where exactly is this factory?"
>"2145 Har..."
>"The driver cuts her off, Don't tell him that unless he agrees to help you idiot!"
>The mare kind of slouches down on the side of the van.
>"Sorry, I'm just excited."
>Watching the mare you realize that she's kind of cute, but she also seems to be kind of crazy, you're not really sure if you want to pursue something like this, even for a quick fuck. Also, she's probably going to end up getting herself killed.

Stopping here for the night.

>>29515746
Oh that poor pony.

>>29515740
I'd like to hear more about the group. Like intended goals and stuff like that.

Amateurs, fuck that noise. In the business of secrets that'll get you killed.

>>29515495
Wow, that is laughably bad. Bravo on the comedy gold.

>>29515740
>"I'm not going to tell you anything about me." The driver answers, "And you two shouldn't be this loose with information about our group."
Jesus, that guy should be in charge.
No, as much fun as it might be to help a revolution and to get a sentry bot of our own to stick Brandy into, this deal is a no-go. They can't pay. They'll get us killed. And they want us to tango with industrial security AI.

Sorry, yay causes and that, but no.

>>29515740
This is even worse then Mr. Brown's job.

>>29515848
If you take into account how he was driving us around, he's just as much of an amateur as the others.

>>29515740
Oh my God we have to help them now. On the condition we get to keep a robot at the end of this, and maybe a few other thing.

>>29515990
>>29515740
Out of the three of them, either he's not the boss of the group, or its like you said and he's just as bad as his friends.

Wow. I missed a bunch didn't I?

>She folds what used to be her left wing out, "I don't want to talk about it."
Oh. Ouch. As a fellow pegasus, File should understand in some sense what she's going through since he has to deal with a weak wing.

>"More than two hundred strong in Ferric Port alone!"
Wow. In just a single place there less then two hundred. Can't imagine the number for different cells of their group. That's quite a substantial number of people.

>>29515740
>"Okay, and can you even reprogram robots like these?"
>"I'm sure someone can! That's why they have us stealing them, for the cause!"
File once programmed a police bot. A sentry could make good practice.

>"Right, anyway. Where exactly is this factory?"
>"2145 Har..."
And now we have the postal address or housing number. It should be easy to locate if we do or don't do the job.

I kind of like this job opportunity. No exact deadline. Their organization could use some help, and maybe if File is competent enough he could get a slice of the action, like the contacts they use to aquire the guns, a black clinic, friends. Maybe he could even imagine he's doing something good.

Ask the unicorn driver how much they would be willing to pay.

>>29516771
Bump

>>29517321
>>29516771
Bump

>>29515740
She is fun. And you know what they say about crazy mares in bed.

>>29516163
>>29515746
If they get themselves killed that's not really our problem. As long as we get paid and we keep our end of the deal all is good.

Hypothetical: if our job is just to knock out the automated security system and we can do that without getting physically involved or having it tracked back to us then hell why not?

>>29519922
I bet we could get some other cool shit if we do a little extra. Maybe some implants so File could Jack in. Fucking soup up File and pimp him out. This is Cyberpunk horse after all.

>>29519922
We need to convince them to pay us part of the sum upfront somehow. We wont get paid if they die.

>>29515740
>>29520799
What, you mean like what we did with the mayor? We get a small bit now and the rest after the job is finished? We need to accept the job first before we ask for any bits.

Are you saying we should take the job?

>>29520815
It sounds like we won't have to be on site, only close at worst. And if they get killed the police will just think the hacker was among them as long as we don't get found out.
I say we take it.

>>29519922
>or having it tracked back to us
We'd have to keep a TIGHT firewall between us and them. Case in point, we're already here in their van. They're violent revolutionaries. Nobody is saying they're not already under surveillance. If you want to contact them again, or for them to contact you, you know, to do things like coodinate a raid? Then you need to have some channel of communication to work together. That's how things get tracked to you.

>>29520107
More like something for Brandy to drive. Weren't we talking about buying her a body?

I still say run away from this burning powderkeg as fast as possible and scrub all evidence we ever had contact. It's way too hella dangerous. This is the sort of shit DM's throw at you to see how suicidal you are.

And with no pay and nothing else to entice us, there's really no reason to. We're all just guessing that they'd give us one of the toys they pilfer.

>>29515740
Will I have to go onsite to override security? or can it be done remotely?

>>29515740
If I accept this job who would be my contact? Also how will I get paid? I'm not doing this for free.

>>29515740
What guarantees are there to my safety. I don't want to end up in jail or dead from this job.

"So mister driver pony, since you've been so quiet why don't you tell me who I would be contacting about pay and other details about this job if I accept."
>The stallion in the drive seat growls, "Her. She in charge of this operation."
>You feel a grimace creep over your face as you turn back to the mare.
"Really?"
>"Y-yeah, after I got hurt in our last... Well after I lost my wing here the knew that I was loyal to the cause so they put me in charge of this important mission."
>The unicorn gets up and takes a seat in the front of the van.
"Alright, then I want to know a few more things. Can I access the security systems from off site or are all security systems purely contained within the facility itself?"
>"I don't... I don't know."
"Okay, how can you guarantee me that I won't get shot while helping you with this little raid?"
>"I uhh. I guess you won't have to enter with the rest of us so I think you'll be safer."
"That's not reassuring me that I won't end up dead or in jail! Are you even sure you can pay me!?"
>"Yes!" The mare shouts, her voice wavering, "They gave me thir... I shouldn't tell you how much I have, but we can pay you! Umm... H-how much did you say that your help will cost?"
"Oh, sweet Cadence...."
>This job is not looking good. Not only are they dangerous radical domestic terrorists but you feel like they might get you arrested for just talking to them.
Although you kind of want one of those robots for Brandy to pilot, it might not be worth it.
>Of course, they might have some resources and connections you might be able to use if you get in good with them but, they might force you to join their cause and start working for free, and you're not even sure what they are all about, especially after they gave you a vague idea that they're trying to take down the current government and install their own.

>>29523443
No offense, but is this just an act? You have absolutely no plan or any useful information. You don't know the first thing about doing business. It feels like your just making things up as you go along. I have trouble believing you're even a part of some group.

>>29523443
Fucking a man. Do it for the justice. Fight for the ponies with their rights striped away. Fight for those experimental ponies that didn't get a choice. What would Brandy think File?

>>29523443
look I just met a pony that hired me to hijack a copy machine and turn the next building it made into a giant dildo. And they seemed more organized than this. This discussion has not instilled much confidence for me to take this job.

>>29523443
Oh shit. Is this the first legit group of people trying to do "what's right" in this fucked up city? WOW. This is a bit refreshing.

>>29523443
If you can provide me more details then I will consider it. But what I see so far doesn't really convince me that'd be wise for me to take this job.

>>29523443
A sentry bot of our own will come in handy in the future when File takes on more hooves on jobs. It could serve as fire support, or a good distraction.

>>29523443
Tell you what. You really don't seem prepared to well for this heist. If you can provide me with better intel on the building's security and systems in the next few days? I'll think on it. I don't like taking jobs that I don't know what's there. Not just for safety reasons but for preparing. You need the right tools for right job and right now I don't know either.

>>29523443
Fuck it. Let's some somewhere in the 7-12k range.

>>29523705
What this anon said. Do they have any friends in the facility that works there? Have they considered befriending someone who works there and slowly changing their point of view to theirs?

>>29523443
I don't suppose you have a layout of the building either or even where a junction point hookup could be at.

>>29523443
Oh my God can we please give her a hug?

>>29523610
Anon, shut the fuck up. Why do you want to share such sensitive information?

>>29523443
This is your first leadership job isn't it?

>>29523705
I agree, let these revolutionaries do some actual research on the target they're after before accepting the job. Not risking your neck for nothing.

Brandy will miss us if we die, and we don't want to make pone cri

>>29523780
who would they blab to? Besides as anarchist they may appreciate it.

>>29523443
Come back to me with more info. As currently there's not enough here for me to agree to this job.

>>29523443
Maybe if we'really still interested we can stay in contact?

>>29523443
I wonder if they're paranoid enough to kill File so he doesn't blab about this.

>>29523895
Taking into account they spewed out most of the information needed AND the fact they're inexperienced enough to not find your gun, they are probably harmless rookies.

>>29523919
Well one of them has a cybernetic eye, and the driver seems pretty agressive. My money's on the driver getting defensive of the boss mare.

"It sound like you're just making this shit up as you go, you've got no plan you have no information about the target you don't even know how much a hacker costs, are you actually part of some group of revolutionaries?"

"This is your first leadership job isn't it?"

"Is it?"
>"Yes... Maybe..."
>This is painful, this young mare looks like she's even about to start crying. There's a part of you who just wants to give her a hug and tell her everything is going to be alright but, that would be unprofessional. One thought that keeps circling your head is that she's probably just going to get herself killed.
"Do you have any friends that work at the facility or have you considered getting any contacts in there to help you?"
>"That's a good idea, I mean. Not yet?"
"Look, I can't take this job without any more information on the target, maybe if you get your shit in order we can talk but right now, I cannot take a job like this."
>You open up the back of the van and look around. You're only about 4 blocks away from your car.
>You hop out of the van and start walking away.
>"W-wait!" The mare shouts after you, "What kind of information would you need!? I mean, I want to try to fix this! I uhh... M-maybe I could d-do something else to make this a better deal I mean if I could do something for you beside just getting the information would you be more willing to help us!?"

>>29523982
>Do you have any 'friends' that deal in cybernetics? I've been thinking of getting a few for myself.

>>29523982
She's so pure. Why is she doing something so dangerous?

>>29523982
Wing cybernetics, hoove cybernetics, head implant for jacking in.

>>29523982
Out of all the jobs to take, this will probably be a longterm one.

>>29523982
find out what the security system is. What their ai system does if anything. What type of robots they have patrolling the place or at least a photo of what they look like. A rough layout of the place even if it's just a drawing. perhaps an idea of what their work schedule is like. When the staff changes or leaves for the night. Some assurances on our safety would be nice as well.

Maybe if a certain mare were to entertain a certain hacker
Ok I'm kidding. That would be a really scummy thing to do.

>>29524035
Maybe not all that. I'm not sure if Cold File would look good with that many implants.

>>29523982
some connections to cybernetics, fire arms, and other underground equipment would be nice. That would be very helpful.

>>29524058
There are more aesthetically appealing implants. Maybe not the hooves even though those are useful. A wing cybernetic will help with his flying, and some head cybernetics for jacking in directly into systems.

>>29523982
Soooooo.....Maybe they want to renegotiate the job? So they want one part hacker and lurker? Someone who can get inside and get info?

>>29524098
I'm not sure if I'd really want to play spy for these people.

>>29524112
File's done it before in the past. Probably for less.

>>29523982
>M-maybe I could d-do something else to make this a better deal I mean if I could do something for you beside just getting the information would you be more willing to help us!?"

What do you have in mind?

>>29523982
I hope each of these members have some firearm training.

>>29524151
This guy is the sauce.

>>29524151
Yeah, let's take the bait

>>29523982
Tell them to be safe, even if we don't take the job we wouldn't wish to see them dead or arrested on the news.

>>29523982
>M-maybe I could d-do something else to make this a better deal I mean if I could do something for you beside just getting the information would you be more willing to help us!?"

some more connections would be nice. Underground equipment, supplies, cybernetics, robotics, things like that.

>>29523982
Out of curiosity, have you considered hijacking a shipment of bot's in transit? This is a factory after all, they HAVE to ship out their product at some point.

>>29524256
good point.

>>29523982
how do they transport the robots out? truck? train? by air?

>>29523982
By Jove any kind of advice and suggestions would significantly help these guys. File is most definetly the oldest and most experienced person here.

>>29523982
take some weapons training, some skills at observation.

>>29523982
Yal little zigs need some training and practice.

Bamp

>>29524058
>>29524089
Agreed, unless he looks good we don't need them, the exception to the rule being the wing. I'd take a non-discreet enhanced wing if it helps with the pain.

I wonder if treating the wing pain would be enough to deal with our addiction or if there are other augs to help with that, like a nervous system aug.

>>29524215
+1 for this, lets just see what she has to say, we can just say no.

>>29523982
Return so that we're not shouting, then "I need to know the basics I already covered. Can I access the systems remotely. What kind and how many AI systems. How much are you paying. How are we going to avoid getting caught. When is it going down. Can I have one of the robots as part of my payment. And mainly, do we have a plan? The plan is the vital part and requires alot of the info I've been asking for. Get in touch with me once you have one." Then leave. I think we should case the place ourselves, too, from a safe-ish distance, and see if we can even use the sort of robots they have. It might be smarter to simply nab one on our own, too.

Bumpo number 9

I wish File would find someone to stick with. Guy needs a waifu that he could physically fuck.

>>29523631
>Oh shit. Is this the first legit group of people trying to do "what's right" in this fucked up city? WOW. This is a bit refreshing.
Welcome to cyberpunk dystopia. It isn't built in a day. It's the result of decades of powerful corrupt people taking advantage of, imprisoning, or outright killing the foolish do-gooders.


>>29523793
>who would they blab to? Besides as anarchist they may appreciate it.
The police and/or corporate interrogators while stretched out on the torture slab where their brains are exposed with a bunch of wired protruding out and an LSD drop destroys what little inhibition they had left.

Ponies talk.

Worse, ponies listen. Do you have any idea how easy it is to eavesdrop on a target? Ponies have secrets, like the one we're entrusting these shmucks with. Other want those secrets. If any of them or their gear are bugged, then our security is compromised.

Worser, ponies get turned. If any of them have family or friends that were black-bagged, then they could be an unwilling accomplice to the very people they're trying to terrorize.

This isn't criminals and the police. The gloves come off when you talk about government sovereignty and corporations who barely pretended to play by the rules in the first place.


>>29523982
"Look, I can't take this job without any more information on the target, maybe if you get your shit in order we can talk but right now, I cannot take a job like this."

Good call.

>>29525450
This. Tell them to do their homework and come back when there's a real job. If they can get organized, you can do business.

>>29528402
They can't call File without a number.

>>29530382
They did give away to much information. We might as well take a look into what they're planning, as long as we don't get in any trouble.

>>29530382
Let's go for a quick scouting but no need to go too close

>>29530382
Ask Brandy what she thinks. What's her thoughts on this whole mess.

>>29530382
What are the odds we can wirelessly access something in their van with a mic and speaker. Like a phone or module? If we do that then we'll have the "legit" statues to them.

>>29530382
Hhhnggggg. Oh my God Bath, you're killing me. Any cuter and I might die of a stroke.

>>29530423
This. I can't hurt to take a look at the place they're hitting up, so long as we don't pass the lazy guard that works the toll booth.

>>29530382
Do we have enough info to even know where the place is at? Ask brandy what patwrite facilities are in the city and which match the part of the address we heard.

>>29530382
Brandy should still be in the jacket pocket, yes? Or was she left inside the car?
Speaking of Brandy, what are her thoughts?

>>29530382
Ask Brandy what info is out there about patwrite. Also what is our own personal knowledge of that company.

>>29530480
>"Right, anyway. Where exactly is this factory?"
>"2145 Har..."
We have the postal address. That narrows things down.

>>29530382
Can we do some background checks on them later? Just to see if they really are rebels and not any Badges.

>>29530519
going to be hard to do since we really didn't catch all their names. But I certainly agree.

>>29530382
What time is it? Do we have anywhere else we need to be? No withdrawal signs right?

>>29530382
Should we swing by that hospital and see if that EX is taking visitors? I'd be curious to know what happened.

>>29530525
We know a thing or two that could help narrow it down.
A young pegasus mare, name/first name, 19 years old, had a "wing accident," coat and mane color, cutiemark(?), facial piercings.
Unicorn stallion, name / first name, maybe a young adult, eye augmentation, bread slice cutiemark, coat and mane color, a mark on his neck.
The driver: stallion, coat and mane color, race(?)
The driver would be tricky.

>>29530611
That would be suspicious.

>>29530632
How so? It's not that bizarre for a "good Samaritan" to go back and check on the victim.

>>29530611
I'd rather be more discrete at first. Maybe we can access the hospital's systems to see what's been recorded about her.

>>29530670
Because we (not me) said we didn't know her or something, so it would be suspecious if someone paid her a visit. The location of where she's being hospitalized is supposed to be a secret to all but the police.

>>29530722
that's a smart idea. We are a hacker after all. Though I would like to talk to her sometime.

>>29530745
>we didn't know her or something,

We kinda said more something like "we might know her but we are unsure due to injuries."

I'm going to cut it here for the night, I'm a little tired.
Also >>29530756 is pretty much what File said.

Wait, guys. I'm a little confused. Do they want the sentry bots from the Patwrite facility, or do they want sentry bots from another facility to hit up the Patwrite facility?

>>29530856
I think it's the first suggestion.

>>29530762
And I thought this would be just a factory not a whole facility.

Is the place open? What times are the tours?

>>29530895
My guess from Bath's use of lighting? I'm thinking afternoon or later. Or from another guess when Brandy mentioned "tier" and "ground"? Maybe there are different ground levels with, hence the lights and darkness.

>>29530762
Look at the advertisements for tours of the facility. When are they. Who are their targeted customers. Check for any obvious cameras.

Me >>29530762
>>29530856
Does File own a liscense to carry a gun? Is there a shady firming range or place where he could practice using his gun?

Do you guys still want to visit the ex? We can always check on her when she's discharged, or if they have to kick her to the curb if she doesn't have any cash.

>>29531554
Might be a good idea to go with a group of ponies. Less suspecious then a single pegasus in the tour.

>>29530762
I think it would be a great idea for File to buy some dummy grenades.

>>29532695
Because, you know. When you throw a grenade at someone they would think "Oh no a grenade! I should get away from this!" Then you can shoot then while they leave cover.

>>29530762
>"So ,what about our potential clients, you think they're cops?"
Well shit. That one hadn't even crossed my mind. You see, this is why I could never actually be a criminal.


>GoodGuy, The mayor. Paying us to vandalize an industrial 3D printer
Not a cop. They wouldn't bother the mayor just for a sting. I doubt they'd use a look-a-like.

>Mr. Brown, some gunner. Bank heist. Provides gear and needs us on-site
Hmmmm. Probably the most likely to be a cop. The whole "in-person" requirement. Brandy said something was off.

>Judgment. Mafia boss having us investigate a political opponent.
...Probably not a cop. It's all screen-work and investigation. The illegal part of actually killing her is left to the mafia.

>CB4. Those 3 idiots. Bypassing some AI security system.
These people are too clueless to be cops.


Take the tour of Patwrite Industries. Afterwards, swing by the construction zone. See if you can war-drive any wifi access points. Then... get to work on the mafia's investigation. Or officially accept the jobs or whatever.

>>29530774
Me
>>29533609
I dunno if it's really a good idea to intervene in political affairs as a hacker.
Your notoriety may go through the roof if it goes bad.
I suggest going with the GoodGuy's job offer.
It pays more than Judgement for simple vandalism.

>>29533609
If we do end up going on the tour maybe also bring some infected usbs to leave behind. Surely someone will plug one in

>>29533609
>Brandy said something was off.
What? I don't remember that.
And we've already payed a visit in the construction sight. It's the thread before this one.

>>29530775
Who want's to ship the Conny with File? I know I do.

>>29534633
Honestly, there are too many piercings for my taste. I would've preferred the hitmare Wintermule sent.

>>29534781
+1 to cute enhanced mare

Also 9 bump

>>29534781
I think the piercings and her inexperience with illegal stuff is very cute, with how these two different things clash.

>>29535292
She just needs less piercings, especially on her eyebrow.
She has waifu material, but the hitmare is my choice.

>>29533704
>I dunno if it's really a good idea to intervene in political affairs as a hacker.

...GoodGuy IS the mayor. That IS the political affair.

Did you get those two swapped?

And did you miss the point where the mafia boss from Judgement threatened to kill us? If it goes bad, we'll have a hit on our head as opposed to notoriety.

>>29533866
Good thinking. Someone watched Mr. Robot.
>What? I don't remember that.
Well, here you go:

"What do you think about the jobs I just had meetings about, Brandy?"
>"Honestly? Well, the bank robbers seem like they know that their job is dangerous and that stallion you met made it sound like they had their stuff together, but something about the way they;re trying to do that job seems a little suspicious."
"What do you mean?"
>"They plan on fronting all of the supplies and giving them away. These don't sound like desperate ponies. I'm not sure why people that sound this well off would bother robbing banks."

>And we've already payed a visit in the construction sight. It's the thread before this one.
Oh shit, I didn't remember that.

ooooh yeeeaaah... Remember to bring steel toe shoes, reflective vests, hardhats, safety glasses and gloves.


OK then. After the tour it's time to choose a bloody job. I say go with GoodGuy and Judgement. Decline Mr Brown and CB4.

We're talking about which jobs to take a little early, but I'd hacking the building printer seems like the best bet. Mob guy seemed like he's as likely to "clean" us up after as not, and these rebels need to get their shit together before we take that job.

>>29536061
>>"They plan on fronting all of the supplies and giving them away. These don't sound like desperate ponies. I'm not sure why people that sound this well off would bother robbing banks."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2ojmr1gDrY

Ever seen Heat? The robbers in that film are well off but still rob banks.

>>29536061
The offer GoodGuy gives has a larger pay than Judgement anyways so why should we bother with him?
There's a big pay gap of 5000 bits on the line here, and for hacking a 3D printer for reasons I don't know
I admit I fucked up with the reasoning, thanks for pointing it out.

>>29536061

>>29536222
Ohokthen
>>29536232
I don't trust this Judgement guy to accept his offer. It's the kind of shadiness that you are forced to commit if you're useful to the man.
Mafia jobs usually don't bode well for a one-time job.

>>29536263
I'd actually want to get deeper into that so we can find a way to stop him.

>>29536294
Doing that might be an easy way to get killed.

>>29536263
We shouldn't really trust any of our clients, but we should still accept the Judgment job. You just don't ask for a raise then decline. That could prove unhealthy.

>>29536325
Not doing it could be an easy way to get multiple somebody elses killed.

Guys. Don't forget our goal for Files wing surgery. Should we get him a cybernetic / prosthetic wing, or pay for some medical procedure to fix his wing?

Fix wing or replace wing?

>>29536364
You're too late to talk about this anon. Judgment could send a solo / merc after us just as wintermute sent that samuri mare.

>>29536386
Why would he?

>>29536364
If you really want to help, then suggest to the rebels to help File kill Judgment.

>>29536373
Depends on price difference and what the road to recovery looks like. If one requires us taking more painkillers for a while and the other one doesn't then the choice should be obvious...

>>29536401
>Hire children to assassinate somebody we know nothing about
brilliant idea.

>>29536399
How else is he going to kill File if he fucks up? Random stranger stabbing him? Snipper? Rearending him on the freeway? Do what Wingermute did to find File.

>>29536411
Who said anything about fucking up?

Guys stop trying to make decisions for things File isn't thinking about and stick to suggesting things for his current situation.

>>29536421
It's insinuated that Judgement won't take failure lightly. Do you think we should decline the job after asking for a raise?
And if you guys are so worried about the assassination of the politician and her head of security, where were you when we were discussing if we should accept the job or not?

>>29536457
Who said anything about failing? You don't get deeper with failure. Also, someone elses failure doesn't reflect badly on us.

>>29536457
I don't see the part where we asked for a raise, could you point it out for me?
If there isn't any, we shouldn't worry about this guy.

File has yet to make a definite decision on any of the jobs he's looked into except for Governor Honey Spout's (Good Guy) Sabotage job.

What's the differences between the two?

>>29536780
I imagine investors see areas consumers don't. I don't see how we'd pass as an investor though. Probably best to just go with the consumer tour to avoid suspicion.

>>29536798
True but it doesn't hurt to ask the secretary what each is.

>>29536734
The use of "!?" makes me thing she's yelling or a bit manic at the moment.

>>29536809

This sounds so fantastical of an idea, so absurd. That thought that we can some how kill Judgement and be a Hero - heck maybe the only hero left in this city. I really wish this were possible. That File could some how rise above this dystopic city to help those that need help. Like the Rebels, but also not like the rebels because they're idiots that need guidance.
Guess it'll stay as wishful thinking.

>>29545554
I have a strange suspicion that Judgment may be targeting goodguy. I don't know why but I just do.
Also the Twilight in government is a changeling.
The bank heist is too high risk and likely a sting.
We could easily get up in revolutionary ranks if that CB4 pone is anything to go by, but I bet the 200+ was a lie. It's probably closer to "literally every pony in that van, minus you".

All that said, go with the printer job. Not every day that you get to build a massive schlong in the city.

Nope. Judgment's target is not the mayor, nor is he refering to the mayors griffin guard.

>Also the Twilight in government is a changeling.
Technically that's a possibility, but there is no evidence or anywhere in the quest to back up your theory.

>The bank heist is too high risk and likely a sting.
Eyup. It was agreed upon two threads back that the bank heist would be too much trouble. One of the reasons being that Files addiction might be an issue.

>>29549596
I dunno, bath did kind of give us a couple of Checkov's Gun style hints I think. Remember that homeless mare from the early threads? What about that seemingly irrelevant political conversation between some randos a few threads back?
I'm telling you man, yuuuuuge changeling conspiracy.

Also, what makes you think the target isn't the griffin assistant? Not much political power but a direct connection to the mayor.

>>29549723
Unless I remember incorrectly the political target was female and the job was to snoop on her head of security.

>>29549723
I'm a little confused tinfoil. Are you saying by removing the mayors assistant/guard, they judgment can eventually kill the mayor, then the person the mayor is working for?

And I remember the news reports. Most note worthy ones I can remember are the ones about the murders in the parks, that one kidnapped filly in spandex, and and the mayor with the construction printers.

>>29549859 (me)
>>29549723
Holy shit Tin. I don't think I can handle conspiracy theories. Too much for me. I'm not even sure if changelings are canon. Then again it might be a spoiler if Bath admitted that before he shows one.

>>29549859
It wasn't news, it was an overheard conversation. I can't remember where, but it stuck out weird to me.

>>29549859
I was thinking more "get blackmail on guard, have mole/influence/kill button on mayor" the mob may have a hoof dipped in the construction industry, and shutting down the printers would be bad for business.

>>29549875
You think that's crazy? Wait until you hear about how the landlady REALLY lost her leg!

>>29549902
Do you have a feel of when that happened? When File overheard that? Was it somewhere after getting paid for the Wintermute job? Before talking to Judgement? Was it after?

beb

>>29536734
How fuckable is the secretary?

9 bump for the return of glorious Bath

File being sub having vanilla sex with the mayor.

>The secretary seems to be trying to hide something with her smile, like she's worried about something.
"So what exactly is the difference between consumer and investor tours?"
>"Oh, well you see sir!" She pauses for a moment and closes her eyes, take a deep breath and looks back at you."The consumer tours are focused on teaching the public about the wonderful products that Patwrite industries provides for the household as well as educating the public about the life improving solutions our company provides our wonderful Equestrian government and other governments with. The investor tours are tailored for entrepreneurs who wish to use our teams of problem solver to provide solutions their everyday needs, as well as educate any potential investor about the exciting cutting edge technologies that may be just around the corner! Oh, I'm sorry I forgot that the consumer tour also talks about the charity work that Patwrite does for the less fortunate around the world and, and um."
>She pauses and mumbles something under her breath.
>"Sorry, I was just. Anyway Investor tours focus on the business side of things and Consumer tours are more of a fun look around our wonderful building. Oh, and also if you want to scheduled an investor tour I'd need to get your company name and your name and... S-something." She smiles and giggles a bit.
"You look a little strung out. Are you okay?"
>"Yes, of course I'm just fine sir! I mean. of course I am! Thank you for asking!"
"Is this place hard to work for or something, you look like you're about to pop."
>"No sir, my job is very good! I love every second of it! I mean, I get to meet new ponies every day and the public now! I get to be the face of the company! It's great!"
"Ohhh kay... So, how long are these tours?"
>Oh, they usually last about an hour. Unless it's an investor tour! I mean those are personalized!"

>>29556075
Lets do the public tour. Leaving behind details about ourself isn't smart.

>>29556075
O the chance where we have to give our name, we should make something up. Gloomy Cloud. Low Lights. Something other then Cold File.

>>29556122
Yeah. Give some false info. If we do we should be consistent with our lies.

>>29556075
Public. Those rebel knuckleheads would probably benefit from setting up an investor tour if they can, but we're better off staying well off the radar.

>>29556145
Want to see the public side before we consider the private?

>>29556151
Yeah man. Let's check out the public tour. But, the private investors one? I'm not too sure about that dude. They could do a background check out the company we don't work for and notice somethings up.

>>29556075
Can we always see the consumer one first and then maybe consider schedule a investor one some other time?

Is this mare high on something? Can we tell any signs if she is?

>>29556186
I think she might have some sort of implant. Or she's just really new.

>>29556075
>"No sir, my job is very good! I love every second of it! I mean, I get to meet new ponies every day and the public now! I get to be the face of the company! It's great!"
Big ol red flag there guys. I too would be nervous if I were the face of the company.

>>29556075
>Oh, and also if you want to scheduled an investor tour I'd need to get your company name and your name and...

My name is my company. I'm kinda contractual in my work. Been interested in possibly investing though at some point not sure if I'm ready yet. And don't worry miss you are doing a good job just a bit nervous.

>>29556147
>>29556151
>>29556186
>Oh, and also if you want to scheduled an investor tour I'd need to get your company name and your name.
I'm hearing suggestions but no ways to follow through.

>>29556215
Ok that's pretty good. But I'm still a bit wary of going with the choosing to do the investors tour.

>>29556075
Investor tour please. I'm Cold Brandy of C.F. inc. Been interested in some of the products your company made and would be curious to see if the company can entice me to invest.

>>29556075
Consumers tour if you would miss.....

>>29556075
Hey guys. Take a look the the right side of her face. I think she's sweating a bit.

>>29556075
Not a big fan of her mane style, but her fake perky attitude is cute.

"I'd just like to do the consumer tour for now, if I like what I see I may come back for the investor tour. You know, so I can get the full spectrum of your company before making any moves."
>"Oh, in that case you only need to proceed to the Patwrite rapid transit station behind the desk and tell the transit A.I. you are going to the visitor's lobby in the east wing! OR, if you forget simply tell our very adaptive A.I. that you are going to take the consumer tour of the facility and it will whisk you away to your destination!"
"Thank you, Also I might add that you are doing a very good job, a bit nervous but I'm satisfied with your work."
>The mare sighs and releases what looks like a genuine smile instead of the forced looking one she was wearing, "Thank you sir. You don't know how much I really needed to hear that."
>You point your hoof at her.
"Well, you earned it."
You walk over to the transit station and the doors automatically open.
>You step inside and a male voice cracks in, [Welcome new user to the Patwrite Rapid Transit system, please state your intended destination.]
"The public tour please."
>[Confirmed, now heading to the 15th floor East wing for the consumer tour. Enjoy your stay in the lobby before the tour sir]
>The transit car you are in has glass all around it, and you are able to see tunnels whizzing past as you are quickly transported to your destination.

>>29556367
I don't wonder what that thing near the planter is.

>>29556367
Say hi to the one's sitting in the lobby. Are they here for the tour as well?

>>29556367
take a seat and wait for the tour begin. Anything of interest in the lobby? like a magazine or something?

She must have a cyberspace jack. Lucky her.

"You all waiting for the tour too?"
>"An earth pony looks up at you as say, "Yep, you're in the right place."
In the room you see an automated coffee machine a drink vending machine with sodas and sports drinks and a snack vending machine with chips, potato skins jerky and crackers.
>You also find a rack of various brochures for Patwrite products and other things, you take one of each and go to sit down. Before you can actually take a seat a stallion opens a set of double doors and says,"Who's ready to see the future!? Go ahead and grab any snacks or other things you want before we begin our journey!"
Behind the stallion you see a tunnel that seems to have a large fish tank in it with a large robot doing something in the tank.

>>29556565
Check out the fish tank behind the stallion, it may be our guide.

>>29556565

Coffee or tea, and a biscotte.

Come on, tell me it doesn't strike you odd to see a large fish tank with a robot.

>>29556618
No not really. This is futuristic equestria, so I expect there to be robots.

>>29556565
get a sports drink and chips give the guide a friendly greeting.

I was talking about the fish tank.

>Copper clears his throat, "Now when you think of Patwrite, what do you think?"
>"Toasters!"the earth pony in your group answers,"Fridges" the Donky mutters.
>"Yes yes, we do make some top of the line household goods but did you know that Patwrite is also a leader in the field of robotics!?"
>You point at the robot in the tank.
"What does that machine do?"
>"Why it's cleaning the tank of course! The PX550 or tetra is used in lage aquariums world wide to help maintain healthy tank conditions for delicate sealife. You see here at Patwrite we're not just concerned with improving the lives of the sapient but also the pets we keep no matter how exotic. Come with me, this is only the first step on our journey.

I'm going to cut it here for the night. If you guys have anything in particular that you want to see on the tour go ahead and say so so I can add more detail about it if the tour hits on that topic.
I might get a list of stops up before I continue, which is what I should do now but I'm tired. Good night.

>>29556715
Let's listen to what he has to say.

>>29556739
"Do you have robots fit for other uses, like cooking meals or keeping you safe?"

>>29556767
Bump

>>29556715
Does this stallion have some aug in the back of his head like that mare?
Well what about augmentations?

>>29556715
Does Patwrite make A.I.'s and V.I.'s?

>"Toasters!"the earth pony in your group answers
Cute

9 bumper

>>29556739

The past such as the origins of the company. The founder. How it got started. it's early successes and how it got as big as it is today.

Some things i'd like to see is robotics, computers and computer ai, medical, augmentations, biological research.

>>29560704
Bump

>>29556715
Ask what and how many countries they operate in.

>>29556715

>>"Please feel free to ask any and all questions the spring to mind as we go through this journey together."

listen to what the origins of the company are. Axk how big this building is? It seems to be very massive.

>>29561638

>>29556739
Do you guys also work with cybernetics and augmentations? If yes, how much for a standard model? And how much for a robot for domestic purposes? Like if I wanted to buy a robot to take care of my grandparents.

>>29556739
How does one apply for a position in Patwrite?

>>29556715
I noticed the secretary in the lobby had some wired augmentations. Is that something your company deals a lot in?

>>29556739
What do you do with outdated machinery, robots, etc.? Do you recycle them, refurbish?

>Looking at your guide you notice a wire going to his ear, for a moment you think it's another augmentation but it appears to be just an earpiece.
>"The Patwrite we know today got it's humble beginnings as Patwrite drafting and design founded by Cornwell Patwrite, an ambitious pegasi who grew up in Manehatten always wanting to make his mother's life easier. He believed that you always have to move foreword, which is how he said that he managed to build the company despite early setbacks like a bankruptcy and a factory fire. Using this as the company mantra he eventually saw early success with the first patwrite alternating generator which was more powerful than his competitors. This also started a fledgling relationship with our Equestrian government. After Cornwell's passing his daughter Jubilee Patwite decided to have the company focus more on the generators that our wonderful government demanded, transforming the company into Patwrite Electric. Patwrite Electric survived for many years as the company slowly began to make more consumer good, keeping the idea of making the lives of ponies easier in mind."
"How big is the company now?"
>"Well sir, we have facilities in over 140 countries and we hire millions of bright individuals to bring our level of quality worldwide."
>You move through some doors into another hallway overlooking ponies working at desks.
>"This is where the magic happens, our engineers are hard at work looking for any way, no matter how small, to improve our products."
>A pegasus mare in your group asks, "How do you find employees?"
>"Applicants usually come to us through our online applications and sometimes even come in to talk to one of our recruitment officers, but we also try to pluck the best and brightest form universities when we see any shining stars.

>The group is ushered into a big room with various vehicles displayed.
>"This is my favorite room of the tour," the stallion continues, "Over the years Patwrite has lead the way with many specialized machines for the police and military.
"Hey, you showed us that robot before, but are any of your robots made for domestic use?"
>She stallion looks at you as if you said something odd, "Well yes, most of our robotics division is tasked with making androids for the household."
"Are the V.I.s used in your robot come from in house programmers?"
>"V.I.'s it looks like somebody knows quite a bit about robotics. Yes our V.I.s used in our androids are created by the same staff who also makes Patwrite adaptive A.I.s of course most androids are not equipped with A.I.s naturally... I'm getting off topic. We'll meet one of our A.I.s later on this tour."
"What about cybernetics and augmentations? Does Patwrite also have a hoof in that?"
>"Yyyyes, we do. Actually we have an entire floor dedicated to cybernetic enhancement research, but we'll get to that later. Actually some to think of it, if any of you have any garbage from the lobby snacks, please feel free to discard it on the ground. You will actually be able to watch some Patwrite magic take care of the mess right before your eyes."

>>29563557
Why not finish your snacks and discard them. I want to see what happens.

>>29563557
throw some trash and see what happens.

Ask who's the head of the company now? Is it publicly traded in the stock market?

>>29563557
I can't wait for the cybernetics. We can get a sneak peak at what we might get File. A new wing. Then again, there's gotta be another way. Maybe surgery?

>>29563557
Ask Copper how long he has worked for Patwrite.

>>29563819
Maybe steal some cybernetics during the raid on the factory and then have a back alley medtechie install it for us. We could get a top of the line implant for a fraction of the cost. http://cyberpunk.wikia.com/wiki/Techie

>>29563909
Maybe. They still need alot of ironing out to do. Like making sure they aren't sabotage from the inside out comma, wtf how big are the sentry bots and will and many they transport in vans, training, discipline, more evidence, excetera.

"Who's at the head of the company now. Is there a current Patwrite successor?"
>"Although the Patwrite family does remain very wealthy the company is no longer run by the family and is now run by a board of directors who see that the stock holders and the company's best interests are taken to heart."
>You decide to plow through your chips and toss the wrapper on the ground. Shortly after you do a small robot wheels around to the wrapper and sweeps it up before motoring away.
"Neat. Hey by the way, how long have you worked for Patwrite?"
>"Three years sir, all of them splendid."
>Your guide lets you all poke around the vehicles even opening a few up to show you the insides. Eventually you all seem to gather at the door and you are ushered into a transit pod that takes you to the 3rd level.

All of you pass through the scanner and none of your group sets off the alarm.
>"Now this next room is so volatile to magical energy that unicorns are Required to wear a suppression ring when working any near this equipment. Also, I forgot to mention that if you are taking any pictures please turn the flash off on your device."
>The guide opens the door and gives each of you a hard hat as you enter.
>"This, is our power core! One of 5 in this facility! It uses magic siphoning Crystals originally discovered in Midwestern Equestria and Synthesized here in your labs. This clean electrical technology was developed 14 years ago. Originally the Altare generators had to be started by unicorns but since the original design we have found ways to start these bad-boys up without the assistance of a unicorn. So far Patwrite is the only company in the world that holds the secrets of these crystals."
>"Just how big is this building?" the donkey mare asks.
>"A little under one and a half million square feet." your guide answers.

>>29563935
Oh neat. I wonder if there's a chance we can dig through their recycled machinery and electronics. Maybe we could make some mini robot or something for fun.

Ffffffuuuuuuck. Gonna have to take not of all this.
...notes are my fetish.

>>29563935
>Should we be worried about power core frying our phones?
I'm kind of worried for Brandy.

>>29563984
I can't wait to start another 11-54 in whatever city this is.

How hard is it to build and maintan these powercores? What did you use before these generators?

"Are our phones safe from that thing?"
>"Why yes, there is a massive faraday cage surrounding all of our power cores to prevent the massive currents flowing through these from frying every electronic in the building."
>"Can we take selfies with it?" The earthpony stallion in your group asks.
>"Certainly! feel free, Just no flash please."
>You snap a couple of photos of yourself in front of the power core.
>"How do you maintain these, is it a lot of work?" the pegasus mare asks.
>"We have technitions standing by at all time so they can fix anything at the very first sign of trouble, Like any industrial size generator though it is very expensive to maintain, but the power we get from it is worth far more than the work we must put in to keep it going, so really, it pays for it'self."
"What kind of generators did you use before these?"
>"Coal, and we actually have diesel backups in this building in case these ever need to go offline in the event of an emergency."
>As you're staring into the power core you catch your reflection in the glass. Do you really look that... Unhealthy? The bags under your eyes have only gotten worse over the years, you start to worry about your health as you feel some pain creep up in your wing.
>Your guide moves the group back into the transit pod and takes you to level 20.
>He moves you all into a room and flips a switch showing off a room full of robotic arms manufacturing parts.
>"This is one of our production floors, where we make the parts for all of our wonderful products."
"What exactly are you manufacturing here?"
>"Androids mostly, some for the military some for the household chores some for those lonely nights." The stallion winks.
>The entire group chuckles.
>"Of course we also manufacture some of our prosthetics here and some appliances but this facility specializes in the production of androids."

Going to call it here for the night
The tour still has
>Prosthetic demo room
>Superintendent A.I. meet and greet
>Product showcase
>Gift shop
As the remainder of the scheduled tour stops.

>>29564222
How many work at this place? Do you need a lot of staff or is most of it automated with the robots you make here?

>>29564236
>you start to worry about your health as you feel some pain creep up in your wing.
Am I reading this right Bath? Is this minor lingering pain, like a constant reminder of his wing injury, or is he really coming down with the cravings? Because he has already taken his daily dossage at 9:56.

>>29564222
Ask what and where their supply Chain is.

>>29564222
Can we see these different kinds of androids? Will we get a chance to see them active?

So. The consensus for what we can do or want with the Judgement Job:

-get bits from job
-screw Judgement over and be a Hero
-figure out how File will protect himself if Judgement screws him over
-how to go about getting information on our target if / when we agree upon accepting the job.
-what will happen if we decline the job.

>>29566508
Jesus anon how many times. We'll talk about that job when we're done with what we're doing.

>>29566628
But I want to know before hand so we're prepared.

>>29566724
There's nothing to be prepared for. You suggest these things when they come up in the cyoa.

>>29566508
Take the job. If we Pussy out they will see it as a sign of weakness and cap our ass for "knowing too much" or some shit.

>>29564222
How any floors or levels does this facility have? This place is humongous! Any employee benifits?

>>29564222
>The bags under your eyes have only gotten worse over the years, you start to worry about your health as you feel some pain creep up in your wing.
